Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 The only thing I can complain about is Scarface beating Butch and Sundance. Scarface has to be one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen. I think it's times up in the tournament. Even if it gets by this round, it faces The Godfather in the Quarter Finals, and I honestly don't think the majority of people will vote for Scarface there.

Hogan Made Wrestling Posted June 18, 2004 Report Posted June 18, 2004 Fight Club beating the Usual Suspects is going to make me doubt my little remaining faith in humanity.
spiny norman Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 Fight Club, Reservoir Dogs and Scarface should not win. Fight Club is good, but nothing great. The other two are overrated crap. And it sadly looks like FC and RD will go through. And how the hell did Scarface beat Butch and Sundance? As for why are people voting for Apocalypse Now over Citizen Kane, I must say I am surprised, though I voted for Apocalypse myself. My personal reason was that both movies I can't really flaw because I think they're both remarkable. But I chose Apocalypse because of the fact that so much went wrong with the production of it and there is no way it could have worked and yet it went on to be such an amazing piece of cinema. While I know that's not really a great way to pick a movie, it was just what I decided on.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 Fight Club and Reservoir Dogs will have to meet each other in the next round if they both advance, and I don't see people voting that over the Godfather. And yes, I'm predicting the Godfather makes it all the way.
Boner Kawanger Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 I want to be your dear friend, Norman.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 Matt, I'm in concurrence with most of your picks, but... while a great film, how does Jaws defeat The Godfather?

While I know that's not really a great way to pick a movie, it was just what I decided on. You know, I owned both Citizen Kane (still do) and Apocalypse Now:Redux (the extended version of the film). After watching both, I can truly say that A) Citizen Kane was better and B) REdux is not made for mt generation, whose attention spans are smaller than an ant. That movie DRAGGED. Of course, I heard there is actually a 4 HOUR cut of the film out there somewhere, so hey...
Guest El Satanico Posted June 19, 2004 Report Posted June 19, 2004 Try watching the theatrical cut, it may help with the "dragging".
Boner Kawanger Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 Matt, I'm in concurrence with most of your picks, but... while a great film, how does Jaws defeat The Godfather? To me, both personally and professionally (for lack of a better term, as I'm exhausted), I find Jaws to be one of the greatest films of the past thirty years. I am a huge fan of Spielberg's early works, and I've never been allured by The Godfather as much as everyone else. I've spent years researching Spielberg films, however. Is The Godfather a great film? Yes, one of the greatest of all time. Is Jaws a great film? Yes, one of the greatest of all time. I just happen to think it's better. Also take into account that I was exposed to Jaws years before The Godfather became more than "that big VHS box with the guy and his cat on it". Besides, Jaws won't beat The Godfather, so just let me vote for it. I'd feel like I was betraying Stevie and Brucey if I didn't.
